We’re going to show people we're serious about this'

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont says the state is cracking down on unsafe behavior and has issued its first fines to people who failed to comply with travel rules. The governor says two residents have been fined a total of $3,000 under the regulations, Fox reports. The residents were fined $1,000 each for failing to fill out public health forms weeks ago when they flew back from Florida and Louisiana, two of the 32 coronavirus hotspot states on Connecticut's travel advisory list.

It's good to see at least one state governor behaving like a responsible adult, who understands that his state is up against a killer disease. People want to flout the law and treat the pandemic like it's all a big joke? Fine, let them put their money where their mouth is. Maybe their fines will help pay the hospital bills for those who catch the disease from them.
 

MAINE has similar laws. You must have proof of a negative Covid-19 test with in 72 hours or you can be fined $1000 and sent back from where you came!! Thats why we have such low numbers here and we feel safe. Everyone is wearing their masks - for the most part and we appreciate those that do!
 
So someone wants to close the border with a certain country to the south, and he gets branded as a xenophobe, but a state wants to prohibit free transit, and "show me your papers!" and that's perfectly OK,
 
So, Carol, you are saying that human beings from Mexico, desperate to escape poverty, oppression, you name it, by coming to this country to work, are the same kind of danger to us as an unchecked killer virus?

Yep, that's what you just said.
